On-Demand Webinar: Building a Strong Mechanical Integrity Program - A Guide to OSHA 1910.119
11:00 (EDT) Thursday, September 26, 2024
The task of overseeing Mechanical Integrity within a Process Safety Management (PSM) system is a complex responsibility with far-reaching implications. Mechanical Integrity is one of the 14 elements of OSHA 1910.119, Process Safety Management System. It involves establishing and maintaining procedures to ensure the ongoing integrity of critical equipment and preventing equipment failures that could lead to the release of hazardous substances.
This program will provide a high-level overview of key action items designed to enhance Mechanical Integrity within your facility. By the end of this discussion, you will be equipped with a list of essential objectives as you build a strong foundation to promote safety and compliance.
In this webinar, you will gain an understanding of:
- How to assess whether your facility’s equipment management aligns with Mechanical Integrity requirements
- The core components that make up a comprehensive Mechanical Integrity program
- How to identify and manage equipment-related risks effectively
- The significance of Mechanical Integrity in preventing hazardous substance releases
